Glorious Skies

With all the bazillions of sunset images.. I still find myself trying to capture the beauty of each new one I see. To me they are romantic, calming and one of natures finest works of art. This one I took in Mexico somewhere along the west coast. Pulled off the road and sat awhile to admire & dream as the sun melted into the sea.

    your words fit this photo perfectly. love how the pelican is flying above the sun, kinda symbolic to your words ‘dream’ because dreaming lays the ground work for flying high or the sky’s the limit goal. super colors!
